Team
Problem
- With an estimated buying power of $360 billion in the United States alone, Gen Z is one of the largest, most socially connected and diverse generations in history.
- As one of the first generations of digital natives, they are marketing intolerant and blur the lines between content consumption and content creation.
- Brands can no longer just advertise to Gen Z, they must lean into their social expertise, grab their attention, and co-create with them to be rewarded.
Solution
American Weekend Entertainment has developed a unique platform that is designed to capitalize on Gen Z’s passion for music and their creator-consumer culture.
Music Daily® recruits and empowers Gen Z creators to produce authentic, micro-targeted content and distributes it across multiple media channels, worldwide.
Music Daily’s Audience Network is designed to monetize this content through distribution and marketing partners to create lifelong brand affinities with Gen Z consumers.

Business Model
Music Daily is built to provide marketing partners with “360 Degree Access” to Gen Zs through their passion for music and pop culture.
Revenue plans to be generated across eight main channels:
Market
Currently aged 13 to 25, by 2025, Gen Zs are expected to reach 29% of our population. Children when social media came to the forefront and smartphones were introduced, GenZs navigate the world with their phones consulting their online and offline network of friends.
The mobile entertainment market size was valued at USD 108.4 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.30% from 2022 to 2033.
We believe brands are shifting their advertising spend to reach the elusive Gen Z market and are looking for unique and engaging platforms like Music Daily to do so.
